Litecoin price is consolidating above the $80.00 level against the US Dollar. LTC could start a fresh increase if it clears the $88.00 resistance zone.

  • Litecoin is showing positive signs from the $80 support zone against the US Dollar.
  • The price is now trading below $88 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.
  • There is a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $86.00 on the hourly chart of the LTC/USD pair (data feed from Kraken).
  • The price could start a fresh increase if it clears the $88.00 resistance zone.

Litecoin Price Eyes Fresh Increase

After forming a base above $85, Litecoin started a fresh increase. LTC price broke the $88 and $90 resistance levels to move into a positive zone, like Bitcoin and Ethereum .

The price gained over 10% and even cleared the $95 level. A high was formed at $98 before there was a pullback. The price dipped below $88 and tested $82. A low was formed at $81.69 and the price is now consolidating losses below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $94.71 swing high to the $81.69 low.

Litecoin is now trading below $88 and the 100 simple moving average (4 hours). On the upside, immediate resistance is near the $85.00 zone. There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $86.00 on the hourly chart of the LTC/USD pair.

The next major resistance is near the $88 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $94.71 swing high to the $81.69 low. If there is a clear break above the $88 resistance, the price could start another strong increase. In the stated case, the price is likely to continue higher toward the $92 and $95 levels. Any more gains might send LTC’s price toward the $100 resistance zone.

More Losses in LTC?

If Litecoin price fails to clear the $86 resistance level, there could be another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $82 level.

The next major support is forming near the $80 level, below which there is a risk of a move toward the $75 support. Any further losses may perhaps send the price toward the $68 support.

Technical indicators:

Hourly MACD – The MACD is now losing pace in the bearish zone.

Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for LTC/USD is below the 50 level.

Major Support Levels – $82.00 followed by $80.00.
